Rep. Bill Pascrell, 87, Hospitalized Again After Brief Rehabilitation Stay

The New Jersey congressman, seeking re-election, faces health challenges that raise questions about his candidacy.

Pascrell was readmitted to Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center after a short stay at a rehabilitation facility.
He was initially hospitalized for 24 days with a fever and respiratory issues requiring breathing assistance.
Pascrell's health issues have led to discussions about his ability to continue his re-election campaign.
If he drops out by August 27, local party leaders can choose a new nominee by August 29.
Pascrell has been a member of Congress since 1997 and is the second-oldest House member.
